What is Comprehensive Bike Insurance?
Comprehensive Bike Insurance is a 2 wheeler insurance plan that offers coverage to your bike against different types of damages, total loss, and theft. Here’s what you should know about the comprehensive policy for bikes.
The Comprehensive Two-wheeler Insurance Policy is a combination of a Third-party Liability Cover and Own Damage Cover for Bike (OD).
It provides coverage against accidental damages, fire, natural disasters such as flooding, earthquake, etc., and manmade disasters such as vandalism, riots, etc.
The Comprehensive Bike Insurance also covers damages caused to a third party’s vehicle or property and if somebody is injured.
At ACKO, we offer the mandatory Third-party Bike Insurance Policy, a standalone OD Cover, and the full-protection Comprehensive 2-wheeler Insurance Policy.
If you have only taken mandatory bike insurance, you can upgrade to the Comprehensive Two wheeler Insurance Policy during bike insurance renewal.
What are the features of a Comprehensive Bike Insurance Policy?
Here are the unique benefits of the Comprehensive Two-wheeler Insurance Policy.
1. Wide coverage
Almost all types of damages to your bike are covered under the Comprehensive 2-wheeler Insurance Policy. The comprehensive bike insurance coverage includes damages caused due to road accidents and manmade and natural disasters. Vehicle theft is also covered. This apart, the policy also covers third-party liabilities.
2. No Claim Bonus (NCB)
You get a discount on the two-wheeler insurance renewal premium if you don’t raise a claim during the policy period. The discount is referred to as NCB. You can get up to a 50% discount on the Own Damage component of your bike insurance renewal premium if no claims are raised for five consecutive years.
3. Decrease in repair costs
Since most of the repair cost is compensated by this two-wheeler insurance policy, you only pay a small portion (deductibles) of the repair bill. The Comprehensive Two wheeler Insurance premium rate is considerably affordable compared to the amount you may spend on repairs, making it an ideal bike insurance cover for your vehicle.
4. Coverage for all types of two-wheelers
The Comprehensive Bike Insurance Policy is suitable for all types of two-wheelers, including motorcycles, scooters, and electric scooters or bikes (e-bikes). Insuring it with Comprehensive Insurance offers wide-ranging benefits, whether it’s a scooter, motorcycle, or electric bike.

3. No Claim Bonus (NCB) benefit
If you don’t file any bike insurance claims during the policy period, you receive a discount on the renewal premium in the form of NCB.

Factors that affect Comprehensive Bike Insurance premium
Now that you know how to calculate the two-wheeler insurance premium, you must know how the premium is determined so that you can make informed decisions. Here are factors that determine the Comprehensive Two wheeler Insurance premium.
IDV or Insured Declared Value of your bike
The IDV is the approximate market value of your vehicle after considering depreciation. Your two-wheeler’s IDV is the maximum sum you receive in case of a total loss, or theft of the vehicle. Please note that the higher the IDV, the higher the premium.
Bike’s age
The age of your bike plays a significant role in determining the cost of Comprehensive Bike Insurance. A brand new scooter or bike has a higher premium compared to older ones (due to the depreciation factor, the premium for older bikes is lower).
Make/model/variant of your bike
Generally, expensive and high-end bikes attract a higher bike insurance premium when compared to low-cost two-wheelers. Typically, high-end bikes have high maintenance and bike-part replacement costs, hence the insurance cost is higher for such bikes.
Registration location
The bike insurance premium for vehicles registered in a metropolitan city or high-traffic area is higher. However, the premium for bikes registered in a remote village or town is lower since the possibilities of road accidents are lower.
Manufactured year
The manufacturing year of your bike helps identify the bike’s age and the depreciation factor to determine the vehicle’s IDV, which reduces with time. Therefore, older bikes have lower insurance premiums than brand new bikes.
Policy tenure
By opting for the multi-year bike insurance plan, the premium is generally lower compared to a single-year plan. A long-term bike insurance policy offers continuous insurance coverage for a long period.
No Claim Bonus (NCB)
When you don’t file any claims during the policy period, you receive a discount on the bike insurance renewal premium known as NCB in bike insurance. Hence, the premium can be reduced if you have accumulated an NCB.
